The point about struggling through assignments being where the real learning happens really resonates. Tutorials are useful for getting started, but there’s a big difference between recognizing code when you see it and being able to produce it yourself.

I also like your point about using AI for the “why” rather than simply asking for the solution. It’s easy to get working code without developing the problem-solving skills behind it.

When I get stuck on an assignment, getting help to understand where my approach went wrong can be useful, rather than simply taking a completed solution. Going back and fixing the problem myself is where the learning actually happens.

I agree there isn’t one universal “right way.” The important part is spending enough time actively solving problems instead of constantly looking for the next resource.

Yeah, totally agree with you. Tutorials give you that "oh yeah I get it" feeling but then you sit down to actually write it yourself and blank out and realize that recognizing ≠ doing, turns out.
